Oklahoma City KEY - Cover Story

Where the West meets the Southwest

What began as a hobby on ski trips to the southwest region of the United States, and a personal interest in southwestern décor, inspired Richard Kuebler to open a small Oklahoma City shop specializing in pottery. The unique pieces and increasing customer demand soon prompted the addition of hand-woven rugs, gifts, and furniture.

Since the store’s humble beginning in 1985, Richard and his wife Sherri have nurtured the business, which has grown into the Oklahoma’s premier southwest and western home décor source. Santa Fe Company boasts over 10,000 square feet of high-quality southwestern and western furniture, complimented by an expansive selection of art, lighting, rugs, decorative artifacts, home décor, and of course, pottery!

For over 17 years, Santa Fe Company has continued to import the finest quality Mexican furniture including armoires, beds, dressers, dining tables, sofa and coffee tables. Each piece of unique furniture is solidly hand-crafted from a combination of pine and wormwood for a rustic look that is perfectly suited for any southwest, western, lodge, or rustic décor.

The stores original offerings come from craftsmen throughout the region. Each piece is a unique work of art, handcrafted to compliment the natural texture and grain of the wood. This process brings out the natural burls, crevices and cracks in the wood along with the grain to leave a rustic andnatural feel. To finish the piece, materials including iron, cowhide, horn, marble or slate are incorporated into the final product.

For the ultimate statement, ‘cowboy up’ your living room with a truly unique, one of a kind, cowhide sofa and chair accented with horn-leg coffee and end tables, made exclusively for the Santa Fe Company. Customers can also create a truly western bedroom with bed, dresser, night stands, mirror, and armoire of hand-carved wood and cowhide or a bed made from an antique door or wagon wheel.

In contrast to the hard lines of the wood furniture, custom upholstered furniture in rich southwest, western, and lodge fabrics complete the look and feel of the West. Literally hundreds of sofas, chairs, ottomans, and other pieces can be purchased directly from the showroom floor or custom designed and built to your needs and specifications.

Many other unique southwestern and western home décor items are carefully selected to compliment the furniture. Hand-woven Zapotec rugs, runners, mats, and pillows add great color and texture. Distinctive lamps crafted from iron, horn, and more can be combined with lampshades handmade from rawhide, cowhide, pigskin suede, or lambskin. Personalize your living areas by choosing from the large selection of western, southwestern, and Native American art prints already matted and framed.

Santa Fe Company also carries a variety of both southwestern and western textiles such as bedding, towels, kitchen linens, throws, pillows and more. Pendleton collectors will appreciate the wide variety and selection of blankets, pillows and throws.To finish the look and feel of the west, choose from unique flatware, dinnerware, stunning ceramic salt and peppers, etched glassware, enamelware, and a unique selection canisters and cookie jars for the kitchen. For the bath, choose from an extensive selection of iron towel bars and racks, ceramic accessories, shower curtains, scented candles and soaps.

True cowgirls—or cowgirls in spirit—will enjoy the ‘cowgirl cabin’ showcasing artwork and accessories with a feminine touch. Treat yourself or that special cowgirl to one of the distinctive purses from American West and others, with designs of hand-tooled leather, suede, beaded, westernfabrics and more.
